Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 08/16] unwind_user: Enable archs that save RA/FP in other registers
Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2025 18:35:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250710163522.3195293-9-jremus@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250710163522.3195293-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com>
Enable unwinding of user space for architectures, such as s390, that
save the return address (RA) and/or frame pointer (FP) in other
registers. This is only valid in the topmost frame, for instance when
in a leaf function.
